Roadmap to Breakthrough Molecular Nanotechnology and a Revenue Flywheel

Reviewing the roadmap and alternatives to breakthrough molecular nanotechnology. What has to be done and how long will it take? I make the case the critical factor is creating a revenue producing flywheel as soon as possible. Creating near-term revenue-generating applications of molecular precision is one of the most effective ways to build a self-sustaining …

Adding and Removing Atoms and Molecules Shown

A new paper provides clear, reproducible proof-of-concept for subtractive mechanosynthesis on silicon. It is not yet a complete minimal toolset”demonstration on diamond surfaces, but it validates the core principles of selective, mechanically driven atom abstraction and shows how molecular tool design can control reaction outcome. Together with the additive C₂ donation results, it represents the …

State of the Molecular Manipulation Toolset

CBN Nano has built and operated some level of a working prototype system for mechanically controlled mechanosynthesis, even if not every single element of the full envisioned toolset is present in one published figure set. They have done and documented hundreds of carbon dimer pick and place actions. ~60–70% of the early molecular manipuulation tool-system …

Substantial Practical Early Molecular Nanotechnology Tool System Using Inverted Mode STM

There is almost 1000 pages on the papers describing the work and plan for creating molecular manufacturing workstations. This work (primarily the 2026 CBN Nano paper and the closely related inverted-mode STM paper arXiv:2512.24431) demonstrates a substantial, practical portion of the early tool system needed for a Molecular Workstation as outlined in rep059.pdf (Molecular Workstation …

Proof of Picking and Placing Carbon Dimer Molecules

Molecular Nanotechnology has worked for over a decade. I, Brian Wang, invested in the startup that has been moving and placing molecules using tooltips for over a decade. Over 180 successful atomically precise movements of carbon dimers are described in a paper. When some of the debates about the feasibility of molecular nanotechnology were ongoing, …

1X Neo Humanoid Robotics Hands Match Human Capability

Ix Tech Neo has a breakthrough 25 Degree of Freedom (DOF), tendon-driven hands for the NEO humanoid platform– achieving near human-level dexterity, strength, safety, and reliability. They will mass produce them. These hands are designed to do something fundamental: remove the hardware ceiling on what humanoid robots can actually do, and make data the only …

Speculations on What Could Show Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Post-spacetime physics refers to the idea that our familiar 4D spacetime is not fundamental but emerges from deeper structures—whether geometric (fiber bundles, higher-dimensional manifolds), quantum (entanglement, information), or vacuum effects. Eric Weinstein’s Geometric Unity (GU) proposes a 14-dimensional geometric framework (involving a metric bundle over 4D spacetime) from which the Standard Model forces, gravity, and …

Why Do Commenters Want to Silence Sonny White?

Sonny White (Harold G. “Sonny” White) has solid credentials as a NASA veteran but is viewed as a highly speculative researcher in the broader scientific community. His work on advanced propulsion (especially warp drive concepts) generates excitement in enthusiast and media circles. For people who freak out about me platforming Sonny White, they should know …
